MSRA-TD500 (MSRA Text Detection 500 Database)

Introduced in Detecting texts of arbitrary orientations in natural images1 Jan 2012 archive 2025-07-28

The MSRA-TD500 dataset is a text detection dataset that contains 300 training images and 200 test images. Text regions are arbitrarily orientated and annotated at sentence level. Different from the other datasets, it contains both English and Chinese text.

13 shown of 13 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 124. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
